I used a blue glaze on her for the glasses, a wooden LOVE Embellie,
On the inside a simple but meaningful sentiment. This card will be going to a dear friend that will be leaving the office shortly. She will be missed !!!
This was such an awesome image to color and create a card with for the unique group: Color It Create It Show It Off. We love using Sherri Baldy images and this one is officially called Img 957 and I used Tim Holtzs' Peeled Paint Distress Ink to edge it. 
I just love this hot pink color I used for the daisy and the image gave me a chance to work with this curly hair that is such fun!! I was so lucky that in my stash, I found the perfect glitter embossed paper in kind-of a 60's/70's style vibe. Thought the combination of flowers helped to soften it a bit. On the inside (I always make them complete), I used more of the retro paper and then matched the label die cut color to that paper and used a sentiment stamp from KKS to finish it.
We always get so many creative images at Craft Your Passion to use in our DT posts! This week is no exception with one from Lacy Sunshine called "Charlie's Flower". Such a cutie! 
My daughter's favorite flower is a daisy, no matter what color! So I had such fun coloring this one up and even put Lemon Ice Stickles on the center for a bit of Sparkle, even put some stickles on her wings! Lacy Sunshine images are often intricate but the final effect is awesome. After finding some papers that coordinated, I added some Pebbles Candy Dots in a sparkly glitter down in the corner. Love the effect of the intersecting circle die cut! On the inside liner I used a mat that I stamped with a KKS sentiment. Always great to have some uplifting messages to send your friends. 
I always get a smile on my face in the spring/summer when I pull back some leaves and find those garden soldiers, the Lady Bugs! They fight so many bad bugs that bother my plants-I give them a little cheer, like Go Bug Go! Ok, so that may be strange but I truly hate the bean beetle (Looks like a ladybug but orange with black dots) that has invaded their numbers and killed many of the LBs off AND they bite!
This week at Seems a Little Sketchy, we are using images from FITZTOWN and they are very pretty-please go check their site out! The prize will be 3 images from them!! Colored with copics, double matted, mini buttons down the side, ladybug ribbon,and a pewter daisy charm hanging from red/black baker's twine. These were all the goodies that I added to this simple design sketch for my embellishments on this Birthday card.
Lacy Sunshine is a new sponsor for us at SALS and we are Thrilled to have them! They will be giving 3 free images to the winner of this 2 week challenge-wow!!
I had such fun with this sketch from Seems a Little Sketchy-I rotated it because, as usual, I made a digital image that was a little larger than I needed. SO, "when you're given lemons, make lemonade"! This sketch made me feel like the rectangle was not an image-BUT A HOLE. So using that premiss, I used a die to open the front flap of my card so that I could put my image, Eleanor/Pickles The Stashes, peeking out from the inside. My grandson LOVES mustaches so I'm always looking for images like this! I just love all the details that this image has and it works so well with the awesome paper I found in my STASH(e)!
Love how the card turned out and if you do also, please come and join in the sketch challenge yourself!
